Whatever is advertised in this box, buy it. Because reasons

What are you reading right now?

Summers are great times to enjoy a damn good book or two…or three…maybe even more really. Maybe you’ve gotten the chance to kick back on a lunchbreak or after work at the beach or a local cafe and just kicked back and red a few pages and found yourself just whisked away.

Personally, I didn’t get the chance to read many new titles this summer because …well… I’ve been finally catching up on some damn videogames in my freetime and kicking back toying in my garden. But each night I have allowed myself a few moments to enjoy a few written words of a few great books.

Yeah.,… I totally read World War Z a third time. I love that damn book. It’s like after all these years of being a total bytch about all things Zombie, it’s like i’m trying to make-up for lost time.

Other than that, I just finished Book 2 of the Millenium series:” The Girl Who Played With Fire”, which has resulted in me having a huge crush on anti-social protaganist: Lisbeth Salander. Matter of fact, book 2 ended SO gatdamn gangster that I quickly made sure my Nook color had book 3 ready for me to jump right into.

Goooood awesomeness!!!

What about you? What are you currently reading, just read, or want to read soon?

When not responding to the dictate:" Will the Defendant Please Rise.." CEO and Creator of OHN;Slaus, is a comic illustrator and Social Media whore who spends his free time building legos, playing video games, drawing fantasy characters and being abused by his wife, two sons and cat.

The hubby has read them all and is convinced that George R R Martin is a pedo…lol…I've read the first two books. I'm taking a break from the madness and reading The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice. Hot ass mess! I have a book to read for my book club but can't think of the name before I go back to books 3 & 4 of the Game of Thrones series. The hubby just said that The Red Wedding is a MOFO…

The Fire Starter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte…it's a great personal development book that includes worksheets and questionnaires so you can actually write down responses vs. thinking, "Yeah, it would be nice if…"

If you love her blog, you will definitely enjoy the book. I stayed up until 2:30 in the frickin' morning to finish it because I enjoy her writing so much. There are even a couple of chapters that had me teary eyed because I definitely feel her on panic/anxiety attacks and how devastating they can be.

She's doing a book signing in the PDX 'burbs tonight. Not sure I'll make it out there, alas, but her book is definitely on my radar. I was fortunate to meet her in person a few years back at a BlogHer conference and loved her ever since.

Another Man's Moccasins by Craig Johnson (Longmire #4) – I got hooked via the tv series
A User's Guide to the Crisis of Civilization (and how to save it) by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed (he didn't lie, it's a tome). I saw his documentary on Link TV.

I started summer by finishing the Codex Allera series by Jim Butcher. He used some Roman/Greek (and a bit of Russian) history/culture to create this new world that is going through a civil war, but also a war with another race of beings (2 actually) and an unknown foe that can destory the world. It reminds me of Star Wars and a few other stories where there is a boy with a secret heritage and powers who makes friends who would later be allies. It's really good once you get past the first book (world-building is necessary and pays off in later books).

Most of the summer has been spent listening to the Monster Hunter International series by Larry Correia – This is not just sci-fi, but action-filled for gun nuts. lol The author is a gun buff and he describes gun use/action sequences ike love scenes. But it's a good escape.

Right now, we're going through Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It's a bit slow, but I hoping that it will become more interesting. I like how they are using history, yet filling in the gaps with fiction.

I've also been reading some e-books (smut/romance) and some self-help books (tightening up skills). My to-be-read list has been expanded due to Goodreads, so I expect to discover more this fall/winter/etc.

So far so good. I love learning about the history of Chicago, and usually do architectural tours. And HH holmes was a crazy man, interesting to learn about. Sin in the Second City is really fascinating too.

Got my corner desk piled high with James Patterson, getting every Alex Cross saga completed. I also have "On writing" by Stephen King. I'm not suffering from writer's block, per se, but I am letting my drafts marinate for a few weeks so I could see them with a fresh eye and trying to find the right voice for my protagonist.

How To Be Black by Baratunde Thurston started off my summer reading. I tried to read Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine but couldn't get into it. Filled my days with the regular urban fantasy, paranormal romance, saucy romance. Going to start Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell to finish out my fun summer reading before I have to buckle down and read for work.

Because my mom for one of her books in the bargain bin at the grocery store and decided to enlist me as her book club
The entire Dark Hunter series by Sherrilynn Kenyon 20+ books since Labor Day weekend. Meh on most, although
I did enjoy her The League series and her Chronicles of Nick series.

I'm not much of a scifi fan either but I found that he League series as a whole is simply better written (as is her Chronicles of Nick series) than her Dark-Hunter series. Of her DH series I enjoyed Night Embrace, Devil May Cry and Acheron the most.
